CLEVELAND CAVALIERS 2016 POSTSEASON NOTES

2016 PLAYOFFS: The Cavaliers opened up their 20th playoff appearance on April 17 against Detroit. The Cavs swept the Pistons, 4-0, in the First Round to advance to

the Eastern Conference Semifinals for the 10th time in franchise history. They followed that up with a 4-0 sweep over Atlanta to get to the Eastern Conference Finals for the 6th time ever. The Cavs defeated Toronto, 4-2, and are currently in the NBA Finals for the second year in a row and third time ever (2007, 2015, 2016). Cleveland is 96-88 all-time in the postseason (12-4 in 2016), including 61-30 at home. Since 2006, the Cavs are 40-12 during the playoffs at The Q.

WHAT A START: Cleveland (12-4 this postseason) opened the 2016 Playoffs winning its first 10 playoff games, the

longest winning streak in franchise postseason history (prev. 8 in 2016 and 2009).

FOURTH NBA TEAM EVER: Cleveland became the 4th team in NBA postseason history to start 10-0 and the first team to do so since the 2012 Spurs (10 straight wins). The Cavs are the first Eastern Conference team to accomplish the feat. (Elias)

LUE START: Cavs Head Coach Tyronn Lue became the first NBA coach to win his first 10 playoff games, passing Pat Riley (nine straight wins in 1982) for the most consecutive playoff wins to begin a coaching career. (ESPN Stats & Info)

BEAST OF THE EAST: The Cavs won 17 straight playoff games against Eastern Conference opponents from 5/10/15 to 5/19/16. That is the longest win streak within a conference playoffs in NBA history. The previous record was the Lakers’ 16 straight playoff wins against the West from 2000-2002. (Elias)

STILL PERFECT AT HOME: Cleveland is a perfect 7-0 at home in the 2016 Playoffs. That is tied for the longest home winning streak in franchise postseason history (5/10/08-5/7/09). Going back to last postseason, the Cavs have won 11 straight games at The Q over Eastern Conference opponents.

NUMBERS AT THE Q: Over their perfect 7-0 start at Quicken Loans Arena during the 2016 Playoffs, the Cavs are winning by an average of 20.9 (111.3-90.4) points and are shooting .496 from the field, including a .455 mark from the three-point line. Cleveland is also averaging 24.4 assists over that stretch. Defensively at home this postseason, the Cavaliers have held their opponents to under 100 points six times and a combined field goal percentage of .422.

GETTING OFFENSIVE: Among all 16 playoff teams, Cleveland ranks 4th with 103.9 points per game. Cleveland is undefeated at 12-0 when scoring 100 points or more this postseason. The Cavs opened the 2016 Playoffs with a franchise postseason-record 10 straight games scoring at least 100 points.

+177: The Cavs outscored the opponents by 177 points (1,497-1,320) through the first three rounds, which tied the 1985 Lakers for the 2nd-biggest margin entering the NBA Finals. The biggest is +180 by the 1987 Lakers.

10-0 & 100 PTS: The Cavs became the 1st team in NBA history to start a postseason 10-0 and score 100 points in each game (previous record was 9-0 record and nine straight games with 100+ points by Lakers in 1982). (Elias)

120+: Cleveland scored 120 points or more in back-to-back games from May 4-6 against Atlanta, which was the first time in franchise playoff history doing so.

WORKING THE GLASS: The Cavs are outrebounding opponents, 42.7 to 37.9 (+4.8), the 3rd-biggest differential among all 16 postseason teams.

20+PLUS REBOUNDS: Cleveland has had at least a 20-rebound advantage on three occasions in the 2016 Playoffs.

BIGGEST EDGE IN TEAM PLAYOFF HISTORY: Cavs had a +27 (55-28) advantage in rebounding in Game 3 of the Second Round at Atlanta on May 6, which was their biggest in a playoff game in franchise history (prev. 23, 46-23, on 5/9/09 at ATL). The last NBA team to have at least a +27 margin on the glass in a playoff game was Washington’s +39 edge (62-23) against Indiana on May 13, 2014. (Elias)

LARGEST MARGIN OF VICTORY IN FRANCHISE PLAYOFF HISTORY: Cleveland’s 38-point win (116-78) over Toronto in Game 5 of the ECF on May 25 was their largest in franchise postseason history (previously 31 point-win over Toronto on May 17, 2016). It was also tied for the 5th-largest margin of victory in Conference Finals history. (ESPN Stats & Info)

FIRST HALF DOMINATION: The Cavs have had two 30-point halftime leads in postseason franchise history, both coming in the 2016 Playoffs.

31-POINT HALFTIME LEAD: In Game 5 of the ECF against Toronto on May 25, the Cavaliers held a 65-34 (+31) lead at halftime. Cleveland’s 31-point lead marked the largest halftime lead in a Conference Finals game in NBA history.

36-POINT HALFTIME LEAD: In Game 2 of the Second Round against Atlanta on May 4, the Cavaliers held a 74-38 (+36) lead over the Hawks through two quarters, tying the second-largest halftime advantage for any team in NBA playoff history. The Pistons were ahead of the Bullets by 40 points at the half in a first-round game in 1987, and the Bucks had a 36-point lead over the 76ers at intermission in a first-round game in 1970. The Cavs also set the franchise playoff record for points in a half that night (prev. 68 points twice). (Elias )

BALL SAFETY: Cleveland is averaging 12.4 turnovers this postseason (6th-best in NBA Playoffs). They have had less than 10 miscues four times so far.

1 TO IN 1ST

HALF: In the Game 1 win over Atlanta on May 2, Cleveland committed one turnover in the first half. The last time the Cavs had only one turnover in a half of a playoff game was in the first half against the Orlando Magic on May 20, 2009 (one turnover in the first half). The Cavs also had just one turnover in the first half in Game 3 of the ECF at Toronto on May 21 this postseason. (Elias Sports Bureau)

25 ASSISTS & 5 TO IN POSTSEASON: In the Game 1 win over Detroit on April 17, the Cavaliers dished out 25 assists to only five turnovers. The five turnovers committed by the Wine and Gold tied a franchise playoff low for turnovers in a game. The only other time Cleveland recorded five turnovers in a playoff match was on April 18, 2009, which was also against the Pistons. Prior to the Cavs tallying 25 assists and just five turnovers in the Game 1 win over Detroit on April 17, the last NBA team to have at least 25 assists and no more than five turnovers in a playoff game was the Chicago Bulls on April 19, 2010 (25 assists, 4 turnovers). Cleveland had never done so in the playoffs before Game 1 against the Pistons.

25 ASSISTS & 5 TO IN REGULAR SEASON: Prior to April 17, the last time Cleveland had 25 assists and five or fewer miscues in any game (regular and post) prior to the win over Detroit on April 17 was March 29, 2009 against Dallas (28 assists, 4 turnovers).

KEEP THEM UNDER 100: The Cavs have held opponents to under 100 points in 11 of their 16 games this postseason. Their opponents’ 95.9 ppg rank 4th in the NBA.

LATE GAME DEFENSE: In the fourth quarter of games this postseason, the Cavs are allowing 21.6 points (the lowest in 2016 Playoffs). Cleveland also led all NBA teams during the 2015-16 regular season in fourth quarter points allowed (23.7).

THREE’S COMPANY: Kyrie Irving, LeBron James and Kevin Love have each poured in at least 20 points in the same game six times this postseason after having two

such instances during the 2015-16 regular season (1/29 vs. DET, 1/30 vs. SAS).

DO IT AGAIN: Irving, James and Love have totaled at least 20 points apiece in back-to-back games twice this postseason (May 6-8, May 25-27). No other trio has back-to-back games of that kind in this year's postseason. The last time a trio achieved that feat in consecutive games of the Conference Finals was in 1982, when the Lakers' Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bob McAdoo, and Norm Nixon reached 20 points in back-to-back games against the Spurs. (Elias Sports Bureau)

80-PLUS: Irving, James and Love have totaled 80 points twice this postseason and are a perfect 8-0 when doing so since the three have been teammates.

CLEVELAND CAVALIERS 2016 POSTSEASON NOTES

LET IT RAIN: The Cavaliers have made 214 three-pointers this postseason, which are the 3rd-most threes hit in a single playoffs in NBA history. They are shooting .420

shooting from deep and are averaging a 2016 Playoffs-high 13.4 threes per game.

12 OR MORE…AND 20 OR MORE: Cleveland has drained 12 or more three-pointers 11 times this postseason, including in an NBA playoff record eight straight games from April 17-May 8 (The last team to do that in the regular season was Houston from Dec. 4-17, 2015). Cleveland has also nailed at least 20 three-pointers on three occasions this postseason, which is also an NBA playoff record.

o RARE AIR: Prior to this year, only three teams had ever made 20 threes in the 2,647 playoff games played since the NBA laid down its first three-point arc in 1979. (Elias Sports Bureau)

FLYING OVER THE HAWKS: Cleveland connected on 77 three-pointers in their four-game sweep over Atlanta, averaging 19.3 threes per game. Their 77 triples are the highest for any playoff series that lasted six or fewer games.

o FIRST EVER: The Cavs became the first team in NBA history to make at least 15 three-pointers in four straight games (regular season and playoffs) after doing so in each game of the 2016 Semifinals. (ESPN Stats & Info)

o 50.7 PERCENT: The Cavaliers shot .507 (77-152) from beyond the arc against Atlanta, producing the same total of points that would be produced by shooting 76 percent on two-point attempts. The Cavaliers more than doubled the NBA playoff record for the most three-point attempts in a series in which a team made at least half of those attempts; the previous record was held by Utah, which made 39 of 75 three-point tries (.520) in a Semifinals series against the Spurs in 1996 (when the three-point arc was closer to the basket). (Elias)

o CONSECUTIVE GAMES WITH 20 TRIPLES: After connecting on 21-39 (.538) shots from beyond the arc in Game 3 of the Second Round at Atlanta on May 6, the Cavs became the first team in NBA history to have consecutive games with 20 or more three-pointers (regular and postseason). Their 46 three-pointers in that two-game stretch were also the most threes in a two-game span in league history (regular and postseason). (Elias)

NBA RECORD-25 THREE-POINTERS: In a 123-98 win over Atlanta in Game 2 of the Second Round on May 4, the Cavs connected on 25-45 (.556) shots from the three-point line, setting the NBA record for three-pointers in any game (regular and postseason).

o 18 TRIPLES IN A HALF: Cleveland also knocked down 18 three-pointers in the first half in Game 2 against Atlanta, setting the NBA record for threes in any half (regular and postseason). The previous NBA record (regular and postseason) for three-pointers in a half was 15, set by Golden State twice (March 8, 2016 and November 27, 2015). Cleveland’s previous playoff record for three-pointers in a half was 11 in the first half of Game 2 vs. Detroit on April 20, 2016.

o 10 TRIPLES IN A QUARTER: The Cavs knocked down eight three-pointers in the first quarter in Game 2 against Atlanta, setting the franchise playoff record for threes in a quarter. Cleveland followed that up with 10 three-pointers in the second quarter, setting the NBA postseason record for threes in a quarter. The NBA’s previous playoff record for three-pointers in a quarter was nine twice (Atlanta-April 28, 2014 and Orlando-April 20, 2008). The previous franchise playoff record for threes in a quarter was six on six different occasions.

o 10 CAVS PLAYERS HIT A THREE THAT NIGHT: The Cavs had 10 players knock down at least one three-pointer in Game 2 against the Hawks, becoming the first team in NBA history with 10 players with a three-pointer in a playoff game. The only team to do that in a regular season game is Atlanta on March 30, 2016. (Elias)

PLAYOFF LAUNCH: The Cavs made 57 three-pointers in their First Round series against Detroit, averaging 14.3 threes per contest. Cleveland shot 20-38 (.526) from the three-point line in their 107-90 win in Game 2 of the First Round on April 20, setting a then franchise playoff record.

ACCURATE SHOOTERS: The Cavs have several players making at least .400 of their shots from long range this postseason (box

on right, minimum 5 3FGA):

PAINT DOMINATION: In Game 1 of the ECF against Toronto on May 17, Cleveland had a 56-36 edge in points in the paint. The last time the

Cavalier scored at least 56 points in the paint in a playoff game was on May 5, 2006 against Washington (58 points).

PLUS-50: Cleveland outscored Toronto by 50 points over the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals. It was only the second time in NBA history that a team outscored its

opponent by as many as 50 points over the first two games of either a Conference Finals or an NBA Finals. The only other occurrence during the first two games of the 2014 Western Conference Finals when San Antonio scored 52 more points than Oklahoma City. (Elias Sports Bureau)

CLEAN SWEEP: The Cleveland Cavaliers advanced to the Eastern Conference Semifinals after a 4-0

series sweep over the Detroit Pistons and followed that up with a 4-0 sweep over Atlanta to make it to the ECF. Cleveland has gone on to sweep an opponent each time when leading 3-0 in a series (2007 First Round vs. WAS, 2009 First Round vs. DET, 2009 Semifinals vs. ATL, 2015 First Round vs. BOS and 2015 Conference Finals vs. ATL, 2016 First Round vs. DET and 2016 Semifinals vs. ATL).

12 STRAIGHT PLAYOFF WINS OVER DETROIT: After their 4-0 First Round sweep over Detroit, the Cavaliers have won 12 straight playoff contests over the Pistons (four straight in 2009 First Round and four straight in the 2007 Conference Finals). It is tied for the longest winning streak by an NBA team against a single opponent in playoff history.

12 STRAIGHT PLAYOFF WINS OVER ATLANTA: Cleveland has won 12 straight playoff games against Atlanta, which is tied for the longest streak over an opponent in NBA playoff history. The Cavs are 12-0 all-time against the Hawks in postseason play, breaking an NBA record.

(Elias Sports Bureau)

4 PLAYERS WITH 20-PLUS PTS: In Game 3 of the Second Round at Atlanta on May 6, Channing Frye (27), Kyrie Irving (24), LeBron James (24) and Kevin Love (21) each

scored over 20 points. It marked just the second time in franchise playoff history the Cavs had four players score 20 points or more. The only other time was April 26, 1990 at Philadelphia (Brad Daugherty-21, Larry Nance-20, Mark Price-21 and John Williams-23). (Elias Sports Bureau)
